The use of the word L0zz0ro applied to leper and of the words LGzdretto and L0zGr-hOatSe for leper-hospitals, and of LGzzGrO1eS for beg gars, show the influence that parables has d upon the minds of christendom.

 LIFE with the old has but few resources of pleasure. It all crystallizes into mem- ory. The present is kind of platform upon which they wait for the last train and they spend this waiting in mounting the chariot and riding back over life's highway, reviewing and encountering events, musing over the past, aud communing with the spectres and phantoms that memory iu- vokes, and weeping over the sod where the blossoms fell early from the stem.
